Re: Overcoming Anchor Tonguing

Making a fundamental change to something you have done previously takes patient practice.
I wonder if in trying the new tounging you might be letting your embouchure slacken slightly.
You may also have to experiment with exactly what part of the "tip" of tounge and exactly how near the exact tip of the reed you are using.
It is quite normal not to use the exact tip of tongue on the exact tip of the reed, in fact it is probably rare.
Try using the broader part of the tip just underneath the tip of reed for instance.
In the end you have to find what works best for YOU.
